The Network Server type was changed and now MonTel appears to start and then exits immediately

MonTel can check for a number of different network types or clients. There are settings in MonTel that allow it to disconnect from a network without displaying an error if a network cannot be found. This is to prevent lap top users displaying a large number of error messages about not being able to find the call record database.

It may make it appear that MonTel is broken if you change the network client, for example from a client that connects to a Netware Server to a Microsoft NT Server. Since you can't change this from inside MonTel (because it exits!), you will need to change the setting manually in the MonTel.INI file (and/or the
Defaults.INI file in the MonTel application directory).

The reason the MonTel client exited without showing an error is that the settings in the Network section of the MONTEL.INI file in the local computer's windows directory looked something like this:

[Network]
ExitMontelIfNoNetwork=True
NetworkDisplayUserError=False
NetworkCheckOrder=3

You would want to have ExitMontelIfNoNetwork=True and NetworkDisplayUserError=False if you had lap tops, so that if they are used off the network MonTel will not report multiple errors because it can't find the network drive(s).

NetworkCheckOrder=4 is the setting for checking NT networks only. Settings 0 through 2 will check for a variety of different network settings, including the local user name, rather than just one client. You may want to try one of these before using the options menu in the MonTel client.
